Prep a Meal of Love:

Families at Ronald McDonald House Pasadena often stay at the hospital or medical center for long hours every day. Make sure they always have access to a home-cooked meal by prepping individually packaged Meals of Love to stock our fridge and freezer!

Groups of up to six volunteers can prepare Meals of Love in our designated Volunteer Kitchen at the House, following specific guidelines. All volunteers must be over the age 16 and able to show proof of full vaccination for COVID-19.

Create Kits
- Assembling Kits is a great way to engage your volunteer group off-site. You can prepare Snack, Activity, or Toiletry Kits for families so they can easily grab what they need while they’re focusing on the health of their child. Gather the items, pack the kits, write encouraging notes, and deliver them to our house to be available for families!

Send Encouragement Cards
- Make and write cards of encouragement and send them to Ronald McDonald House Pasadena to be given to children receiving life-changing medical treatment. This is a great activity for kids to get creative!
